Lawrence,

I’ve used Oracle VM Virtualbox Manger to run Windows on my Macs and you don’t need to use boot camp. But I don’t how that would work for your situation. And the best thing is it is free to use.

Subject: [Rockies-Edu] Boot Camp ??

Hi All,

I've got a group that just moved to campus who are going to use some dual boot Mac Pros to train law enforcement people in some media forensics

techniques. Throughout my 20 plus career with Unix systems I've managed to steer clear of Windows almost entirely. (Hold the applause!).

So, I have these 12 Mac Pros that I've boot camped with Win 7. The users would like to be able to configure the Win side with all their apps and

user configurations on one system, create an image, and deploy that image to the Windows side of the other 11 computers. I'm sure there are

some of you out there who do this sort of thing regularly and can offer some good advice. OSX and Windows 7 are each installed on their own

disk in the Mac Pro, which it seems to me should make it simpler. One idea I had was to mount the receiving disk on the fully configured Mac Pro

while booted into OSX and then use dd to do a block by block copy of the data. Just not sure how well that would work with boot camp, or what

Windows issues I should be aware of. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Lawrence
